Description

Join us to get an understanding of Bordeaux. Discover why the region has such an enviable reputation for its red wines and explore its whites too. Learn about the landmark 1855 classification of Bordeaux and taste a plethora of wines featured then which continue to have glowing reputations today. Not only will you have the chance to compare and contrast all the famous village names but you will also taste older wines from the region. All this will be followed by a Bordelais-themed luncheon in our cellars accompanied by even more fine Bordeaux as it is meant to be appreciated – with haute cuisine. By the end of this hugely enjoyable day, you should have a deeper understanding of the region and the ability to navigate the Clarets on any restaurant wine list with ease. Hosted by Rebecca Lamont, Head of Wine School

One Day Wine School

One Day Wine School

Our one-day wine schools are a great way to get a thorough overview of a region in a day.

Starting in the morning with tea and coffee on arrival, we spend around 2 hours exploring the region, with 8-12 wines showcasing all different styles. With the basics covered, we head to our vaulted Napoleon cellar for an aperitif and to put the morning’s education to the test with 5 more wines paired over a delicious lunch, crafted by Head Chef Stewart Turner.

The day finishes around 3.30pm.
